Last night, a friend stopped over. We talked to the wee hours of the morning, sipping some great wine. While it was all worth it, today I’d prefer to do nothing rather than…something. Ah, laziness. It gets such a bad rap, doesn’t it? Here’s some quotes to NOT inspire you!

Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability.
Sam Keen
